Outlook for 2014

Oriola-KD estimates that net sales and operating profit excluding non-recurring
items will increase compared to 2013 actual.

President and CEO Eero Hautaniemi's comments regarding the interim report:

"The Group's operating profit was positively supported by improved profitability
from both segments in Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden. After closing the acquisition
of Medstop in June 2013 we have since established ourselves as one of the main
players in the Swedish pharmacy market. After the opening of a new pharmacy in
March, we now have 300 pharmacies, in total, operating under the Kronans Apotek
brand. Kronans Apotek's market share in the Swedish pharmacy market is at the
moment approximately 21 per cent according to the company's estimate. The
Swedish wholesale business' profitability was strengthened by the efficiency
programme that was started in the third quarter of 2013.

Russia's weakening economy and continued intense competition contributed
negatively to our Russian businesses' net sales and profitability during the
first quarter. Despite the efficiency measures already undertaken, the Russian
wholesale business, in particular, was clearly behind the goals set. The
continued slowdown in Russian economic growth weakened the purchasing power of
the consumers and this negatively affected the Russian retail business' net
sales and profitability during the first quarter. As a part of the profitability
improvement actions initiated in 2013 in Russia, principal agreements which are
either commercially unprofitable or unfavourable for Oriola-KD have been re-
negotiated. The restructuring initiatives affecting the Russian businesses
during the first quarter will lead to the reduction of approximately 230
employees, corresponding to approximately EUR 2.5 million cost savings starting
from 2015.

The investment project for the new distribution centre in Moscow is progressing
as planned. Transfer of the operations is scheduled to begin in the last quarter
in 2014. Full production capacity will be reached by the end of the first
quarter in 2015.

We have issued a EUR 40 million hybrid bond in 20 February 2014 in order to
strengthen Oriola-KD's balance sheet."

January-March 2014

The Finnish pharmaceutical market grew by 3.1 (1.0) per cent in January-March
2014 (source: IMS Health). Oriola-KD's market share of the Finnish
pharmaceutical wholesale market was 44.7 (47.3) per cent in January-March 2014
(source: ATY).

The net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics decreased by 6.3 per
cent to EUR 100.8 (107.5) million and operating profit increased by 15.5 per
cent to EUR 4.8 (4.2) million.

Invoicing of the wholesale business in Finland was EUR 235.8 (255.1) million and
net sales totalled EUR 79.3 (86.4) million during the first quarter. Net sales
of the wholesale business in the Baltic countries were EUR 11.4 (10.4) million
and net sales of the Consumer Health business were EUR 10.2 (10.9) million. As
expected, the discontinuation of the distribution of Astra Zeneca's products by
Oriola-KD in the third quarter of 2013 reduced the net sales of the Finnish
wholesale business during the first quarter.

The EBITDA of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics was EUR 5.7 (5.0)
million.

The profitability of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics improved in all
the operating segments. In Finland profitability improved as a result of
continuing improvements in operating efficiency. Operations in the Baltics
developed positively during the period.

Russian businesses during the first quarter will lead to the reduction of

savings in 2014 and EUR 2.5 million cost savings starting from 2015.

At the end of March 2014, Oriola-KD had 223 (239) pharmacies in the Moscow area.

earning period is based on the Oriola-KD Group's earnings per share (EPS). The
rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period 2014 will correspond
to the value of a maximum total of 1,010,000 Oriola-KD Corporation class B
shares (also including the proportion to be paid in cash), of which 720,000

every three shares purchased as part of the programme. The shares given to the
participants will be partially used for paying taxes.

Flagging announcements

No flagging announcements were received during the period.

Risks

Oriola-KD's Board of Directors has approved the company's risk management policy
in which the risk management operating model, principles, responsibilities and
reporting are specified. The Group's risk management seeks to identify, measure
and manage risks that may threaten Oriola-KD's operations and the achievement of
goals set. The roles and responsibilities relating to risk management have been
determined in the Group.

Oriola-KD's risks are classified as strategic, operational and financial. Risk
management is a key element of the strategic process, operational planning and
daily decision-making at Oriola-KD.

Oriola-KD has identified the following principal strategic and operational risks
in its business:

  * Amendments to pharmaceutical market regulations may weaken Oriola-KD's net
    sales and profitability.
  * In the Swedish retail business, the free establishment of pharmacies has led
    to an increase in the number of pharmacies. The number of pharmacies may
    continue to grow, which could further increase the fierce competition.
  * In the Russian retail business, tough competition resulting from the large
    number of pharmacies may lead to a further decrease in the gross margin and
    a rapid turnover rate of key personnel.
  * Extra capacity ensuing from a change in the Swedish wholesale market will
    intensify competition, which may weaken the profitability of operations. The
    share of single channel distribution in the pharmaceutical wholesale market
    may decline rapidly, which may weaken the profitability of operations and
    lead to the restructuring of wholesale operations.
  * As a result of the tough competition in the Russian wholesale business, the
    gross margin may decline further, which will lead to a continued need to
    intensify operations and restructure wholesale operations over the long
    term. The payment behaviour that is typical to the Russian market, combined
    with the regional expansion of operations may increase credit risks.
  * Strategic development projects involve operational risks.

The main financial risks for Oriola-KD involve currency rate, liquidity,
interest rate and credit risks. Currency risks are the most significant
financial risks in Russia and Sweden, as any changes in the value of the Russian
ruble and the Swedish krona will have an impact on Oriola-KD's earnings and
equity.

Oriola-KD prepares goodwill impairment testing twice a year, in accordance with
the timetable of its strategy and planning process. Changes in cash flow
forecasts based on strategic plans, or in the discount rate or perpetuity growth
rate, can cause a goodwill write-off, which would weaken Oriola-KD's result. The
impairment test on the goodwill of the cash-generating wholesale unit in Russia
is particularly sensitive to changes in the discount rate or cash-flow
forecasts.

Near-term risks and uncertainty factors

A slowing down in the economic growth of Russia as well as the continuing
weakening of the external value of the Russian ruble may have an effect of the
net sales and profitability of the Oriola-KD Russian businesses in 2014. A
decrease in gross margin resulting from intense competition and an increase in
credit risks concerning customers may have an impact on the profitability of the
wholesale business in Russia.

Oriola-KD's strategic development projects in the Russian wholesale business and
the operations in Sweden involve operational risks which may have an effect on
Oriola-KD's profitability.

Oriola-KD's long-term financing agreement contains financial covenants
concerning the ratio between Oriola-KD's net debt and rolling 12-month EBITDA
and the group's gearing ratio. Weakening profitability of Oriola-KD's business
operations many affect Oriola-KD's ability to meet the financial covenants
contained in the financing agreement.

Outlook

Oriola-KD's outlook for 2014 is based on external market forecasts, agreements
with pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies, and management assessments. During
the five-year period from 2014-2018, the Finnish pharmaceutical market is
expected to grow at an annual rate of 1.9 per cent and decline an average of
0.2 per cent in Sweden per year while the Russian pharmaceutical market is
expected to grow by an average of almost 8.1 per cent annually in the local
currencies (source: IMS Health Prognosis 2014-2018).

Outlook for 2014

Oriola-KD estimates that net sales and operating profit excluding non-recurring
items will increase compared to 2013 actual.

Events after the review period

There were no material events after the review period.

Next interim report

Oriola-KD Corporation will publish its results for the second quarter of 2014 on
Thursday 24 July 2014 at about 8.30 am.

Principal accounting policies as of 1 January 2014 (IFRS)

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS standards (IAS
34). The accounting policies and calculation methods applied in the interim
report are the same as those in the 31 December 2013 annual financial
statements, excluding the standards and interpretation applied as of 1 January
2014 and presented below. However, the interim report does not include all of
the information and notes present in the annual financial statements.
Consequently, the interim report should be read with the company's  financial
statements for 2013. The accounting policies of the 2013 and 2014 financial
years are comparable. The company has no discontinued operations in 2013 or
2014 that it should report.


The calculation principles of key figures in this interim report are the same as
for the annual financial statements, except for the calculation of earnings per
share (EPS) whereby the profit attributable to equity owners of the parent has
been adjusted with the unpaid hybrid loan interest.

The figures in the interim report have been rounded independently.

New standards or amendments to the existing ones that have been applied as of 1
January 2014:

  * IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
  * IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
  * IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
  * IAS 27 (revised in 2011) Separate Financial Statements
  * IAS 28 (revised in 2011) Investments in Associates

The new standards have not had a material impact on the Group's financial
position.

On 20 February 2014 Oriola-KD issued a hybrid bond, classified as equity.
Interest on the hybrid bond is paid in accordance with a decision made by the
Board of Directors. Unpaid interest is accrued and reported on the balance sheet
upon the interest payment decision. Unpaid interest is taken into consideration
in the calculation of earnings per share.

Reporting segment results reported to Oriola-KD management exclude the
management fee. Segment information for 2013 has been revised to correspond with
the current presentation.

The figures in this interim review are unaudited.

Derivatives measured at fair value through profit and loss are mainly related to
hedging of group's internal transactions. Fair values of the derivatives have
been booked to balance sheet in gross amount as the derivatives contracts are
related to credit events and cannot be netted in financial statements. The group
has not given nor received collateral to/from derivatives counterparties.

Financial liabilities recognised at fair value through profit and loss (level
3) include estimated discounted fair value of a contingent consideration related
to the Medstop acquisition. Payment of the contingent consideration will be
based on 2015 EBITDA of Oriola-KD's combined Swedish retail businesses and will
be paid in first quarter of 2016. The fair value of the contingent consideration
has been calculated using discounted cash flow method. The discount rate used in
the valuation is determined using the weighted average cost of capital of the
Group.
